29 months from 01/07/2013 to 30/11/2015
General aims
- provide an ensemble of ice thicknesses of the MIS6 Eurasian ice sheet over Forsmark repository site (East Sweden) and Olkiluoto nuclear power plant site (West Finland)
- assess the impact of the Eurasian ice sheet on Forsmark and Olkiluoto
CMCC Role
CMCC is coordinator of the project
